One day after his Champions Tour-record-tying 60 at the Charles
Schwab Cup Championship, Haas bogeyed his third hole in Round 3.
He’s even through five holes at Desert Mountain but at 14
under and holding a three-shot lead over playing partner Tom
Lehman.

Lehman is 2 under and sitting well in his chase to overtake
Bernhard Langer for the Schwab Cup title. The defending champion in
the year-long race needs at least a top 5 to be in the conversation
and is doing his part. If he doesn’t win he needs help from
Langer, and Langer is stuck at even through eight holes and 10th on
the leaderboard. That combination would hand the Schwab Cup to
Lehman.
